R&SL Peace Prize for Australians who served in Rwanda - Were you there?

In 1995 the National Branch RSL awarded UNAMIR the ANZAC Peace Prize. In 2008 a suggestion was raised that all persons who served in Rwanda be given a Certificate acknowledging their service in Rwanda.

Unfortunately due to the time lapse since 1995, several members have left the service without any forwarding address. Several female members have married and have changed their names, hence, tracing these persons is a very tedious task. If you are a member of the RSL and wish to receive your Certificate please contact:
